I have a 500 watt and 1000 watt Bird dummy loads and they are well
made. These are not toys. I believe that they are rated for average
continuous power and I do not agree that they need to be rated for 2X+
the transmitted power, especially for intermittent use like most of us
do.

I agree that Bird dummy loads are some of the best. Be sure to get
one rated for at least your maximum power anticipated. And do allow a
margin of safety. I use 2x, thus for 100 watts I use a 250 watt rated
load.
I purchase all of my power measurement equipment from NM3E.COM.
